Q. Valence bond theory of metallic bond was given by

A) Dalton
B) Drudel
C) Fajan
D) Pauling
Explanation

(d)
Valence bond theory (Resonance theory) of metallic bond was given by Pauling (1937). According to this theory, the metallic bonding is essentially covalent in origin and metallic structure exhibits resonance of electro-pair bonds between each atom and its nearest neighbours. In other words, there is a resonance of a large number of canonical forms.
